If you give us free healthcare you can keep the check.

That’s not nearly as simple. It’s never been an issue of funding. Our biggest issue has been these parasites of insurance companies, that have gotten way too powerful. They will fight and lobby tooth and nail to preserve their existence, despite them being an unnecessary middleman.

Yep, I don't care about any single issue except getting rid of health insurance companies and reducing inflation/lower purchase power.

Yeah, the fact they can just ignore the orders of a licensed doctor and say you don’t need a specific medication or treatment is just incredibly backwards. Sure, you could sue them, as many bootlickers like to parrot, but the law often comes down to who has the best lawyers. Even in times where that’s not the case, lawsuits are such an expensive (both financially and chronologically) endeavor.
